New major updates for Sysinternal

Sysinternal announced some major updates for their tools package. The most interesting in these updates is the end life of Filemon and Regmon and adding a number of enhancements for Procmon, including new by-extension and by-directory views in the File Summary dialog, a new Network Summary view, quick filtering in all the summary views, additional IOCTL and error result decoding, and a number of bug fixes.

Process Monitor is the replacement for Filemon and Regmon and is much more advanced and scalable than its predecessors. We only aim to make Sysinternals tools work on Windows XP and higher, we’ve decided that it’s time to retire these venerable utilities that were born in the early days of Sysinternals (then NTinternals) back in 1996. So that you have a chance to say goodbye, we’re announcing now that they will be removed from the site on September 1.

It is always good when we have a new functionality and updates in Sysinternal.
